PPP polled Republican Primary voters about their preferences for who should run for the Senate against Amy Klobuchar, not surprisingly Michele Bachmann leads the field, a field with very few possible challengers.

Given how strongly Klobuchar polls this exercise is probably academic- her opponent seems likely to be someone a lot more low profile than either Pawlenty or Bachmann- someone who has nothing to lose by launching a long shot Senate campaign.

Among all the names PPP polled, I can see only one of them actually making a run for the Senate in 2012 and that would be Laura Brod who doesn't hold elective office right now and appears to be positioning herself for a future race.

Not a lot of movement here, they added Ron Paul's name and took out Mike Pence which decreased the undecided vote. The movement in the other candidates numbers, where there is movement, is likely just float within the margin of error.
